VINYL[sound quality]: EX- / A GOOD CLEAR STRONG SOUND ON BOTH SIDES. BOTH SIDES PLAY THROUGH VERY WELL WITH NO SKIPS, JUMPS , STICKING OR SCRATCHES.THERE'S JUST THE ODD BIT OF BARELY AUDIBLE SURFACE NOISE IN THE GAP S BETWEEN ONE OR TWO OF THE TRACKS AND A COUPLE OF MINOR 'POPS'.OVERALL A REALLY GOOD COPY THAT I THINK DOES WARRIANT AN EX- GRADE.
VINYL [visual]: EX- /NO FEELABLE OR OBVIOUS SCRATCHES AT ALL.SOME 'HAIRLINE'/PAPER MARKS VISIBLE UNDER STRONG LIGHT AND PERHAPS THE ODD MINOR SCUFF .BOTH SIDES LOOK NICE AND CLEAN AND STILL RETAIN A NICE SHEEN .
LABELS: EX- /THE RED DECCA LABELS ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.NO STAINS ,STICKER OR PEN MARKS JUST THE FAINT TRACES OF SPINDLE MARKS.
INNER SLEEVE: VG /LOOKS TO BE ORIGINAL.IT'S JUST A PLAIN WHITE SLEEVE WITH CELLOPHANE INSIDE OF IT.THE WHITE HAS FADED WITH TIME AND THERE ARE A FEW CREASES BUT BASICALLY IT'S INTACT WITH NO RIPS OR TEARS.
OUTER SLEEVE: VG+ / THE FRONT OF THE SLEEVE IS LAMINATED.THERE ARE A FEW MINOR CREASES HERE AND THERE NOTHING MAJOR.THERE ARE NO WRITING OR PEN MARKS.NO SPLITS OR TEARS.THE MOUTH EDGE HASN'T FRAYED MUCH AT ALL OVER THE YEARS BUT LOOKS TO HAVE HAD STICKY TAPE ON IT AT SOME POINT[see photo] SO THE EDGE HAS A THE REMNANTS OF A TAPE MARK ON EITHER SIDE .I DON'T THINK IT'S A PROBLEM BUT WORTH MENTIONING. THE BACK OF THE OUTER SLEEVE WASN'T ORIGINALLY LAMINATED AND IS JUST WHITE WITH BLACK PRINT.ON IT IS WRITTEN A SHORT BIOGRAPHY OF DAVY'S CAREER UP TO THAT POINT[1964] CURTESY OF THE PRODUCER RAY HORRICKS ALONG WITH THE TRACK LISTING.AGAIN THERE ARE NO WRITING OR PEN MARKS, NO RIPS OR TEARS IT'S JUST A LITTLE DIRTY AND FADED WITH TIME.THE EDGES ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION NOT SHOWING MUCH SIGN OF SHELF WEAR AND THERE'S NOT MUCH RINGWEAR EVIDENT[none on the back just a bit on the front].
SPINE: VG /INTACT ALONG IT'S ENTIRE LENGTH.JUST ONE OR TWO CREASES AND A COUPLE OF SMALL LIGHT STAINS .NO RIPS OR TEARS.ALBUM TITLE,ARTIST'S NAME AND ALBUM'S SERIAL NUMBER ALL PERFECTLY LEDGIBLE.
MORE GENERALLY: THIS MUCH SOUGHT AFTER ALBUM IS A JOY TO LISTEN TO.DAVY'S VOCALS AND BRILLIANT GUITAR PLAYING [with a little backing in places] CONJUR UP A MORE INNOCENT ERA BEFORE THE ROCK JUGGERNAUT TRULY TOOK OFF.IT'S QUITE INTROSPECTIVE AT TIMES EXOTIC AND MYSTERIOUS.
